Chapter 3:Ember Island

It was Friday morning and Sokka and I were just finishing packing up.

"This will be SO awesome!! A whole weekend to relax and I will be with Suki."

Sokka was so excited about being with Suki you'd think he'd start drooling over it.

I had to admit it was cute. They were a perfect couple, so happy together…my thoughts trailed off and then I snapped back to reality as we headed out the door.

We traveled to Ember Island by boat. The nice thing was that is was a privet boat so we'd all just get to hang alone.

We sat in silence for a while Suki and Sokka cuddling, Toph was facing the opposite direction "staring" off into space as she would say, and Zuko and I sat near each other not talking.

Finally I had to break the ice.

"So…How are you and Mai?" I asked innocently kicking my legs back and forth like a little girl.

"Hmm?" Zuko said.

"How are you and Mai doing? Like as a couple?"

"Oh well um…" I had caught him off guard.

"Well I don't know. Alls she seems to care about is the advantages of dating the Fire lord…I think I'm going to break up with her."

"What? Why?" I asked, sounding worried which I was.

"Because, when we were apart I did love her but now I just…don't. Its hard to explain."

"I see. I'm sorry."

"It's ok. I'm interested in other girls, not her"

"Really? Who?" He put his finger up to his mouth like he was telling me to shush. "Shh. It's a secret" He smirked.

Finally we arrived to Ember Island at twilight. We were all pretty tired from sitting on the boat that long and Toph was sea sick anyway. So everyone, except Toph, got something to eat then turned in for bed.

Sokka and Suki slept in the same bed…they were getting pretty serious in their relationship but I didn't worry. Sokka could take care of himself.

I was walking to my room in my PJ's when I bumped into Zuko. "Sorry I-" suddenly I couldn't think of any other word in the universe. I was mesmerized by his beauty. Zuko was wearing pajama like pants and no shirt.

And he had the most amazing 6-pack. I couldn't stop staring.

But I quickly snapped my head up and said, "Sorry I see you didn't." What did I just say? He giggled. "Its ok. Oops I mean Ok its" he laughed. I nervously laughed while my face turned bright scarlet red. "Night"

I quickly said. "Night" he said back. I ran to my room and quickly got into bed.

I couldn't stop smiling. My heart was beating so fast. I was so excited for what was to come next. And I had completely forgot who Aang was and only knew who Zuko was.
